PHILADELPHIA - July 24, 2008 --

It's a case of perfect timing for the coach of the Philadelphia Soul. Head coach Bret Munsey left the team in New Orleans to return to Philadelphia, even though they are preparing for the AFL title game this weekend.

But he had a good reason.

His wife Yvette was about to give birth to their first child.

Thursday night, the coach was home in time to welcome his son, 7-pound, 10-ounce Grayden Thomas Munsey.

The coach then flew back south to rejoin the team, with the hope of winning it all for his family.
